Matchup Betting Tips for Week 10 of the 2018 NFL Football Season

Tip Before the Golden Tate trade, I may have taken Detroit with the points. However, this is after the Tate trade, and to replace him Detroit is working out semi-retired players, such as Brandon Marshall, to fill the hole left behind. Since rushing for 158 yards on 19 carries three weeks ago, Kerryon Johnson has only received a total of 20 rush attempts in the past two weeks. To top it off, Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury, and is questionable to play Sunday. The new Monster of the Midway will dominate the haphazard Detroit offense.

Tip – Only five points?!? New Orleans just defeated the last undefeated team in the NFL by ten points, and averages nearly 35 points a game. Cincinnati struggled in pass coverage a week ago, surrendering 179 yards receiving to Mike Evans. This week they get Mike Thomas, who is coming off a 12 reception, 211 yard game. The AJ Green-less Bengals will be in for a long day.

Tip – For all the slack Blake Bortles gets, and rightfully so, he does play with a certain amount of grittiness that, for the most part, keeps his team in games. Bortles gets his bell cow ball-carrier back this week, as Leonard Fournette will look to start and finish his first game of the 2018 season on Sunday. Indianapolis offense runs through their tight ends, but Jacksonville sports two of the better coverage linebackers in football, in Myles Jack and Telvin Smith.

Tip – As quickly as people bought into Washington, they’ve just as quickly seemed to jump ship after a disappointing outing a week ago. Yet getting three points, and maybe the league’s worst defense, is a nice way to get back on track. Adrian Peterson will be involved plenty more on Sunday, and Maurice Harris will continue to thrive in the slot, because he is the best receiver Washington has to offer.

Tip – Cleveland looked improved on offense with their new coaching staff, who remembered Duke Johnson is on the roster. Atlanta has scored 30+ points in five of their eight games this season, and Julio Jones also found the end zone for the first time this season. No matter how much Duke Johnson is involved, Cleveland lacks the firepower to keep pace with Atlanta.

Tip – “Brocktober” has spilt over into November for the Dolphins, and that might be exactly what Green Bay needs to get back on track after last week’s debacle. Though 9.5 points is a lot, Miami has no idea how to get their best skill player, Kenyan Drake, involved in the offense, and lacks any reliable playmakers on the outside. Rodgers should eat up a secondary that is only two weeks removed from giving up five touchdowns to DeShaun Watson.
